Maybe some sleet showers on Friday here, then a cold (5c) but sunny day forecast for Saturday.....

Gone back to cloudy now, still dry though.

Sunshine! And bit of blue sky!!

So today I spent a couple of hours working in the Dacia this afternoon......the Sat Nav & Dash Cam have been removed, and also the original CD/Radio put back in, gave it a bit of a clean out too, I may put it on Marketplace next weekend, hope I get a better response than I did with the scoot.

I still have the scars from doing the spark plugs on my VFR ....apart from plugs, oil/air filter and oil change I never had to take a spanner to mine. It was originally a French registered bike, bought it from Granby motorcycles who sold many imported bikes, They MOTed it when I bought it, at the next MOT it failed because the headlight was for countries driving on the right of the road, i couldn't (or afford) get a UK headlight for it at the time, so i sold it cheap.

The 305 was a 1986 model, i had it around 1995, and if I member correctly it had 22,000+ miles on the clocks, it handled fine, and was fast enough for the riding I did, but for a 305cc bike it felt very small,

Mine may have lasted longer if I had known about the oil strainer/pickup blocking problem.

I had a GPZ 305, the belt on that snapped, I went to the Kawasaki dealer for a new one....he said "That will be £150 please!" ......I converted it to chain, think the kit cost me £40........then the damn thing devoured it's camshaft....

I got beaten to it... I will keep looking for something, willing to lash out up to £150 for something 🏍

I doubt I will put it on the road (if I get it) it will mainly for tinkering with and tidying up

The sun just came out! .......it's gone back behind the clouds now. Going to have a look at a non running Lexmoto Vixen (to tinker with)......it is free to collect....it is located only 5 miles from here..... getting it here back could be a slight problem though....

Bet your best friend is very appreciative.

Yeh I expect you have more knowledge of arseholes than Clits.

Renault Clio 1.2 turbo.

Could not find a good one for sale.. Sis in law had a Smart, she had it a few months, phoned me to say that she had a puncture and could not find the spare wheel, asked me if I had a idea where it was.

I have gone and bought a hairdressers car...

Was looking on Marketplace, noticed a car that I could be interested in having a look at, did a MOT check and noticed that I had searched this car before, so looked through Marketplace listing and the one I previously looked at is still advertised on there, same reg, same colour, same MOT expiry date, the new listing is in Doncaster, the other is in York..........do you think this is dodgy.

I did All the cars I showed a interest in are 3 counties away...

Why do peeps always seem to loose their cars logbook?

It would not bother me one little bit if he was in my car for the journey. Being as deaf as a post I would not hear him.

Wife can't drive. .......Daughter on 12 hour shifts till next Thursday.......brother in law, would want £50 for fuel and about the same for his time.... I will hang off on the hope something local ish turns up, got till March when my insurance expires...

Yeh the Dacia would make that journey easily, but if! I purchased the car, how would I get it back here?

Has some snow here during the night, not very much, just a dusting. Looking on Marketplace for a new (to me) car, all the decent ones are 80 miles away, or further, bugger all or sale locally. Got one to (possibly) view tomorrow, but that one is in Pontefract.... 55 miles away.

The new battery seems to have cured my cars starting whoes!.... fired up 1st time after a frosty night, not cured the fuel guage though. yesterday it ready totally full, this morning empty! fuel warning light is not on though. I may go and look at a car on Sunday, if it is still there, and it is not raining, need to look under the car, not laying on the rain soaked ground, need a accomplice to go with me too, to listen for bangs, rattles or a noisy engine.

I expect I would end up with this.
